Even if there is an infinite scale, wouldnt it be computational given infinite amount of time/energy. I.e each step itself is still a computational process.

I still don't understand what is formally meant by "computational". I assume it means "can be expressed algorithmically (by a series of rules)". If there are natural laws, then by definition isnt all of physics comp

In our village the 8-10 year old boys would be responsible for herding the cows back home from the mountains at night as well as riding a horse to the town over to trade milk and cheese.

This is what Ive been doing with comp as well. I am making x, I wouldn't be happy with less than x, or I like my role and I wouldnt move unless I get y. Recruiters will usually be pretty open back and it saves a lot of time on both sid

At this point I kind of do. The matter that goes into forming your body and brain is somewhat special, having accumulated the properties it has experiencing billions of years of traveling through the universe. Once you die it decomposes and

I had a similar idea. I was working with some complex recursive functions and it was impossible to figure out what was going on. Trying to parse through 1000 console logs was nearly impossible so I had the idea of rendering the function cal

Man runescape was my life for a long while. Its still the only MMO I know which actually has unique and rewarding quests, activities, and mini games. There's something like 150 quests, most with completely new NPCs, new map environment

Adderall was great at first but literally a week of daily use and I felt like all it was back to normal. Felt like Im just damaging my physical health for no good reason

Lasercube looks awesome, its 2 grand in the US market though :| There's also the Unity raw which seems like a neat product with the similar specs at half the price. https://unitylasers.eu/products/unity-raw-1-7

P-zombies is a thought experiment to demonstrate the hard problem of consciousness, it is not, in itself, an argument against materialism. I can certainly imagine a robot that imitates all of human behaviors. If you hit it, it goes "Ow

Yeah I found thet through one of the links someone else posted. I am interested in writing my own software for creating visual patterns so not interested in Quickshow, Pengolier, etc so something like laserboy that lets you write ilda frame

Sorry I should have clarified. I am thinking of lasers for light shows. Doesn't have to be industrial level, small low powered ones would be fine. I am lot more interested in the software side of this, so Im hoping I don't have to

What are imaginary numbers if you remove its relation to the real numbers? Do they not become regular real numbers? How I am seeing it, real and imaginary numbers are both equivalent constructions with the same properties/construction
568.
by andoando 2y ago
Is that a property of imaginary numbers, or a property of relating two orthogonal numbers? Legitimately asking because I can't find any special properties that imaginary numbers alone have in relation to themselves.
569.
by andoando 2y ago
Imaginary numbers are just 2D vectors. Its such a horrible name. The imaginary part isnt any more mysterious than the real part. Theyre just orthogonal properties.

Ive been pretty hesitant to share without a solid prototype or even a solid model on paper. I can write about my thought process I suppose.
